- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.4 finally Tharanga's troubled stay comes to an end, he had played and missed many times already and this time he gets the edge, a length ball just outside off, a thin edge through to the keeper 45/28.2 Gul strikes with his second delivery, Jayasuriya is gone, not the greatest of deliveries, short and wide, Jayasuriya has both feet off the ground as he cuts the ball, a bit of a top edge, straight to Mohammad Aamer at third man 31/121.2 Sangakkara holes out to point, huge wicket for Ajmal, slower through the air and gets some turn there, Sangakkara looked to cut it over the infield but ends up giving an easy catch to Afridi 93/333.2 is that a run-out? Jayawardene was in trouble as he was coming back for the second, he's well out of his ground, but it remains to be seen whether the keeper has the ball in his hand as he broke the stumps, after several replays the third umpire is satisfied Akmal had the ball in his gloves and Jayawardene has to go, there was never two runs in that, the ball had barely made it past the inner circle near midwicket, Younis was onto it quickly and threw it to the right end, the keepers, and Sri Lanka are in big trouble now 131/626.1 Afridi strikes, Kapugedera drives away from his body at a length ball outside off, results in an outside edge which Akmal collects gleefully 106/431.4 Samaraweera departs to a shot he wouldn't like to look at again, it was wide outside off and he looked to pull that one, was a bit early into the shot and spoons it to Younis at mid-on 125/547.1 Mathews' innings comes to an end, caught and bowled, he was too early into his shot and only managed to lob it back to the bowler Aamer, who juggled it a few times before hanging on 204/844.3 Kulasekara departs as Razzaq hangs on to a skier, the batsman was looking to clear mid-off for a boundary, the ball goes high towards extra cover, Razzaq dropped a similar one earlier in the day but doesn't blow it this time 173/749.1 Aamer ends the Murali show with a yorker which hits the base of offstump, Aamer has kept his head despite the glut of runs, good work from the youngster 223/9Extras10 (b 1, lb 4, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL232/9 (50 Overs, RR: 4.64)Fall of wickets: 1-31 (Sanath Jayasuriya, 8.2 ov), 2-45 (Upul Tharanga, 11.4 ov), 3-93 (Kumar Sangakkara, 21.2 ov), 4-106 (Chamara Kapugedera, 26.1 ov), 5-125 (Thilan Samaraweera, 31.4 ov), 6-131 (Mahela Jayawardene, 33.2 ov), 7-173 (Nuwan Kulasekara, 44.3 ov), 8-204 (Angelo Mathews, 47.1 ov), 9-223 (Muthiah Muralidaran, 49.1 ov)
